" ... war is not simply organized violence. War is a political act, employing force to promote or defend a set of interests."



"If we are at war and we get the military strategy about right, people will be killed; if we get it wrong, lots of people will be killed."


"It is our duty to make our voices heard, to ensure we extend our expertise to the public strategic discourse; and to articulate our raison d'entre, unique character, and many contributions to national security. The United States of America is an air-, space-, and cyber-power nation that derives much of its global influence from the ability to act in and dominate these three war-fighting domains."

"I challenge each of you to have strategic effect by educating other Airmen, the American public, and our nation's leaders about the enduring value of air, space, and cyberspace for national security.



The Air Force is America's cross-domain, global-maneuver force. The power Airmen wield is at once strategic, operational, and tactical. So must be our habit of thought. At this time of war, and at this strategic crossroads, America could ask no more - and expect no less - from its Airmen."
